Break HW

Giraffe Birth
I think this birth the mother didn't care about having the baby because the way she was walking around and having the baby just hanging down like that. Then when the baby came it out he just dropped to the floor and the mom kept walking like she didn't want anything to do with him but she did show a little attention to the baby by trying to groom him a little bit by trying to get the stuff from the sack off. When the baby came out you can see that fluids came out right when the baby dropped to the floor and this can compare to human births because whena human gives birth and the baby comes out then you see different fluids like blood, mucus and things from the sac fall out. When the baby came it seem like the way he dropped to the floor he looked like he was dead because I didn't really see any movements but it seems like a normal birth for a giraffe.

Dolphin Birth
The dolphin birth is a little similar to the giraffe birth where their just moving around with the baby hanging out but once the baby dolphin came out right away it started to swim around with it probably trying to get their muscles strong to be able to swim alone. Also the baby dolphin ways less than a baby giraffe and instead of coming out head first the dolphin comes out fin first which is very interesting because you would usaully see babies be born head first. This doesn't really compare with human birth in a way because in this birth the baby was able to swim right away with no problem but in human birth the babies muscles aren't strong enough yet for them to walk on their own it would take them a couple of months before they are able to do that.

Human Birth
I saw a woman giving natural birth with a midwife inside a tub full of water which was interesting because I heard of it before but I never seen it. During the video the midwife kept checking to see the babies heart rate and am not sure if the mother was giving any drugs during the birth because she said that she was feeling a pain or a burn. There were points where the babies head was coming out and then it goes right back into the vagina. Once the baby came out I think it was crazy how the midwife just grabs the baby by the neck and puts the baby right on the mothers chest. I think its dangerous to grab a baby like that because the baby is kind of fragile when it comes out the womb so there is a possibility they might the baby in a way.

C-section
When I come to the point of having a baby I don't think I would let my wife have c-section because itvolves to much cutting and a lot of blood lost. It looks like their cutting at anything that is in the way of getting the baby out and the more they get closer the more they use that tool to like push the stomach wider. The way they pulled the baby out to was kind of crazy because the baby some what doubled up and they was pulling it out by the legs. I wonder if the doctor know's all the things they are cutting at in the mother's stomach because it seemed lke they was just cutting away to get to the baby.
